@@Pigeonforgehussey111 You s.o.b you really have no life do you. OMG You actually looked for the original creator. This is a new low for Karens everywhere bud. But probably not your lowest moment I bet.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I'm trying!

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Always!

I would love to see Gatlinburg in the mid 90s

[@lauradavis5544]

We loved getting to see some of Gatlinburg the way it was when we went there on our honeymoon in 1993. So many of the motels on the strip are gone now. It was fun to see things I remember. Thank you for sharing. I would love to see more videos and pictures of the way Gatlinburg used to be.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I'm so happy you liked it ... that's my intention with this video

[@wisecracker1814]

Wow. '88 doesn't seem so long ago... until I see these cars! We took our 2 kids to our only trip to Gatlinburg when we camped in the Smokies on our World's Fair vacation in '82. In our '77 Granada! They were 2 & 5. Only thing I really remember is riding the ski-lift. Our 'kids' are in their 40's, with 5 kids between them of their own now. So, yeah. Guess it's been 'a minute'...

[@wisecracker1814]

​@Uncle Sam 🏴‍☠️ Wow... haven't heard from you since the 2 yrs I lived w/you 😅. Blessed, indeed. Hope you are too...

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Thank you so much for saying that!! So cool ..

[@derradune6722]

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

[@robertrich9336]

And check out those cars. Now if we can find 70s 😂 Probably not with those cameras. 😊 This one is a gem! ☝️ I remember riding with my aunt and uncle, in the early 70s, and going to Porpoise 🐬 Island 🏝️ in Pigeon Forge. Those were magical times…. 🥰

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Christine, I agree with you

[@chistinecox368]

Sean,Been coming to the Smokeys for over 30 years, It had Cham, My go to restaurants was, Burning Bush and The Brass lantern and The Greenbrier that was the best kepted secret, and never waited 1or 2 hours to get in to eat, Their all gone now!!!!, Was down 2 weeks ago and walked the strip once for only about 1/2 hour, So Freaking busy and no old charm, will quit visiting the Smokey Mountains, It has my heart, Now we stay out 321 or Townsend, Some good restaurants out that way and peaceful, Everyone else can have the strip, Differently not the same anymore 😥😥😥

[@donnatraylor4578]

In the early 60s was my first trip to the mountains. I wish I had more memories of it. I only remember a big wooden Indian on a store front in Cherokee.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

So cool!!?

[@porkchop3656]

It’s a shame it doesn’t look that way now. And Pigeon Forge, Cherokee, Chimney Rock…all those places. Pigeon Forge has turned into that God awful Myrtle Beach just less the ocean.

[@garychandler259]

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Always!! Thank you for saying hi

[@ThattgirllEmmaa]

[@sharisquatch8838]

Brings back memories! Remember when rebel corner and the arcade burned? I was there with my family when it happened.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I was in here 93 ..Ripley's was there

[@sharisquatch8838]

Rebel corner burned in 1992.

[@KenKen-ui4ny]

1988. This was just one year before i was born in 1989. I see some buildings in this video, that i recognize from today, but i suppose a lot has change since then.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I was 14 and were moving from Newport RI to FL in 1988 lol

[@Wanda-dh6gn]

Nice

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Yes!

[@jonbrooks6307]

[@glendaclark5038]

I remember staying at McKays in 1964

[@robertrich9336]

Check out that taffy! 😊

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I look the other way...lol.

[@BroncoUp]

That was great Sean. That's how I remember it in the 80s. Branson MO was the place to go back then. Still beautiful there, but my, how times have changed. Great nostalgic content.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Hi Bronco! Thank you so much

[@sladewilson4354]

The good ole'days! Its a shame Gatlinburg was sold to that Moonshine company. They are destroying all the old buildings and putting up every other building with a Smoky Mountain Moonshine hut? I miss the old generic gift shops...water weenies, mini-jim bowie knifes, the hologram shop in the village, Acorn annex 2, the lemon tree where my mom got all the stuffed cabbage patch kids.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Trust me, I know!🤬🤬🤬

[@ronniecrain509]

Wow that was awesome thanks for sharing.
